I thought I saw it coming just took me by surpriseDifficult to sidestep nowhere left to hideEven though I saw it coming it's out of my controlAnd I'm feeling so much better now you're off my payroll.

Seems we're always waiting for those demons to appearSeems we're always watching if it's wine or it's beerMagic has been broken, he's washed awayThe axes have been shifted there's a smell of slow decay.

Even though I saw it coming the memory plays tricksI tried so hard to make it all work outEven I thought I saw it coming, you put me in a fixAxes made of straw and not bricks.

How long before I forget the fuss I made of youYou Were just a memory I was passing throughI thought I saw it coming never saw you walk the lineWhat you need is help my friend, what you need is time.

Now I gave all I could to you but it never was enoughWe all know where we're heading when the going gets thoughI thought I saw it coming we all went for the rideA problem for your dignity, and a problem for your pride.

Even though I saw it coming the memory plays tricksI tried so hard to make it all work outI thought I saw it coming but you put me in a fixThis house is made of straw and not bricks.
